Su(var)3-3 | Possible lysine-specific histone demethylase 1; Probable histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, thereby acting as a corepressor. Required for heterochromatic gene silencing. Acts by oxidizing the substrate by FAD to generate the corresponding imine that is subsequently hydrolyzed. Demethylates both mono- and tri-methylated 'Lys-4' of histone H3. May also demethylate 'Lys-9' of histone H3, Plays a role in the repression of neuronal genes; Belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family. (890 aa) | ||||
Dcp-1 | Caspase-1 subunit p13; Death caspase-1 (Dcp-1) encodes an effector caspase that cleaves specific proteins during apoptosis. It typically acts downstream of the initiator caspase encoded by Dronc. It is also involved in non-apoptotic processes such as autophagy. (323 aa) |
